I’m at 7g now trying to size up to 6g. My right earlobe has been ready for MONTHS, the bigger size slides in easily. My left earlobe totally refuses to take the bigger size, even with a bit of pushing (which I know you’re not supposed to do - I don’t think I’ve pushed to the point of injury). I’ve been trying the 6g every week fresh out of a hot shower with jojoba oil.

The left earlobe has always been more difficult to size up but it’s being especially stubborn with this one.

What’s the difference between the two? They seem like very similar products.

After polishing my boots for the first time and leaving them overnight I decided to put on a second layer, but I’m finding it impossible to get a clean surface. There’s dust and cat hair clinging to the leather and the more I brush the more dust sticks back on!

I don’t think I put too much polish on, none is coming off on the brush?

Thinking of switching to Renue as it’s half the price where I am (Aussie). When I look this up in the subreddit I can only find three points:

1. A couple of people saying Renue worked better for them than Niagen
2. Several people saying Niagen has more science backing it - I know this is true but I want to hear about firsthand comparative experiences
3. One guy claiming that Renue is a shitty company without providing evidence

Malate is a step before oxaloacetate in the Krebs cycle. It’s much cheaper. I find it gives me almost the same boost to my capacity.

I take 1000mg Mg malate daily, which contains about 880mg malate. NOW brand. I sometimes take an extra one on higher exertion days. I was previously taking 500mg oxaloacetate daily, then as needed. I still have some on hand for important days, but use it much less often now.

Feel like I haven’t heard that word in a while

Say for example, I’m chatting briefly with a work acquaintance and they ask me if I’ve had lunch yet. In this scenario I haven’t had lunch, because I was too busy and forgot, but I don’t want to make a thing out of it, like if they started fussing over me e.g. “you should take care of yourself”. So I just say that I had a burger.

I feel like most people would agree that is a pretty socially acceptable lie with very few consequences. But I would still get kind of stressed out about it and feel bad.

And if I ever have to lie for any reason that’s bigger than that I would get so stressed and down on myself thinking I’m a terrible person, and worrying that the other person would find out and they would hate me.

Hell I even get stressed about telling the truth but worrying that it could be read as a lie, or intending to tell the truth but finding out later I was wrong. I always try to go back to the person and correct myself but if I can’t do that e.g. it was a stranger I bumped into briefly I just feel so bad for misleading them.

Also I’m not a good liar, especially if the lying has to be spontaneous rather than practiced beforehand. The scenarios where I say a white lie e.g. “I had a burger” are already “preset” in my brain so it’s less difficult to pull them out. But if it’s a situation I’ve never encountered before I find it extremely difficult to come up with something on the spot, I would stammer a lot or pause awkwardly trying to think of what to say.

Also I absolutely hate being lied to, for any reason except the most benign, like a little prank that gets immediately corrected after.

I’ve been having serious memory usage issues since the update yesterday. Firefox is lagging and freezing constantly on my laptop and has caused it to BSOD twice with an error message of “Video Memory Management Internal”. I only use like 5 tabs. Windows 11

Anyone else having this issue?
